Uninstall Software with AutoIt

[Guest zlep]

Hi,

I am new to Autoit.

Can I use It for automated Software Uninstall?

I want to write a Script that uninstalls a specific Apllication via-'login-Script/Autoit' if I login as a special user.

Finally I just need to know how to start the uninstallation process via autoit, since the software I want to remove has no 'uninstall.exe' file

thank you

I found another solution

Myuninstaller (http://members.lycos.co.uk/nirsoft1/utils/myuninst.html)

gave me the exact link to the .exe file and argument I have to call from AutoIt to uninstall the software

thx

I am nrew to Autolt, HOw do you read in the uninstall string and execute it.

I have found the string. Do I just execute each line in the uinstall log file with RunWait.

My guess is that this utility reads the UninstallString in the registry...

The UninstallString is the command that windows Add/Remove Programs dialog executes to uninstall an application. Read the manual on how to use RegRead and as larry suggested, search the forum as this topic has been handled before.

I have been searching the forum for the past hour. I little more would be great, because I have not gotten any further than I was an hour ago.

Thanks
